improvehealth equity in rural Appalachia by catalyzing development of health technologies throughexpanded community engagement with rural healthcare providers in Appalachia. As part of thislarger initiative, we launched a 5-day design sprint before the 2024 Fall semester, aiming toboost the capstone projects' impact through team building, immersion in the Stanford Biodesignprocess, and enhanced customer discovery. Students (n = 4) tackled a problem statement from alocal client with foot drop in the Appalachian region. The design sprint was facilitated by twoBiodesign Fellows (graduate students with Bachelor’s degrees in BME) and two BME facultymembers, guiding students through workshops on social determinants of health (SDOH), userneeds, stakeholder

institution. In addition to providing much-appreciated expertise inthe topic and valuable troubleshooting skills, the iGEM students added useful insights to theinstructor. For example, the students recommended going over the weekly quiz as a class toenhance student understanding of the protocols. Going over the quizzes as a class was beneficial,as many students in their end-of-course evaluations stated that the quizzes really helped themunderstand the material and helped them write better lab reports.Importantly, we designed the course with the goal of teaching what these senior iGEM studentswished they had learned before taking on their iGEM capstone project, including practical skillssuch as using proper sterile technique to make bacterial growth

Multi-Year PITP Capstone Project and Activities: Upon completion of elective courseand capstone program, PITP medical students can apply to the full PITP to develop a multi-yearcapstone project that is either an extension of their BME capstone experience or a novel design.They are required to participate in a summer internship during their multi-year capstone tounderstand how industry implement novel technologies. The students are supported by theprogram directors through monthly update meetings to assess their progress and provideresources and support. They are then required to present their findings during their final year ofmedical school, and are encouraged to participate in the UCI BME Masters of Engineering(MEng) program to further their

include additional evaluation metrics withthe aim of generating solution concepts more attractive to the senior/capstone design program[10]. Throughout all programs reviewed here, a common theme was leveraging clinicalobservations to provide real-world curricular connections and opportunities for engineeringinnovation. We developed our program similarly, aiming to develop project foci for furtherdevelopment in capstone, graduate, and extracurricular hands on experiences.Immersion in the clinical environment carries significant overhead, in both monetary cost andtime, limiting the number of participants. A few exceptions where programs were designed toinclude all students in a program, or successfully implemented a fully integrated program

Data from Fall 2024 indicates thatthey like the exposure to design, but that the topics between 1st and 2nd year design courses arerepetitive. We will assess student achievement using exit surveys and analysis of artifacts fromstudent capstone projects from the 2025 and 2026 graduating classes (old curriculum) and 2027and 2028 classes (new

combineengineering principles with clinical applications, they lack: (1) an organized interaction ofunstructured and structured learning activities, (2) the immersive analysis of surgical workflows,and (3) a problem-centric approach. Johns Hopkins University (JHU) researchers [4] note that identification and validationare key elements of undergraduate engineering capstone design and that the process is enhancedby clinical observation and root-cause analysis. Limiting factors to implementing this for largegroups of students include limited physician time and expense, small observation groups at anyone time, and non-rigid scheduling of procedures. JHU implemented a team-leader trainingmodel, where students interview to represent their team in this
